The Church Unfinished: Ecclesiology through the Centuries

Overall, it's a good book. I found it a little overly progressive however. The author's perspective is certainly valuable. I would just recommend balancing it with a more traditional perspective on Church history such as Martha Rasmussen's "The Catholic Church, the First 2000 Years."

Excellent book for everyone interested in Ecclesiology - definitely must read! It was one of the textbooks that I've read with pleasure :)

This book will not respond to any "reader" app. Not on Kindle, not with Kindle for PC app, not with text to speech in Windows, not with text on android. A tad disappointing, to say the least​​​​

Every lay person,bishop, archbishop, cardinal and maybe the next pope ought to read this book!I'm getting it for my friends.

As an academic myself (PhD Computer Science), I am quite open to differing perspectives and points of view; however, this book is a bit too wishy washy for me. I am a Roman Catholic and embrace fully the Teachings of the Magisterium of the Church. Theology is the science of the study of Revelation. As such, I recognize the the importance hypotheses and theoretical speculation. The author of this book weaves into his narrative lots of scripture, in order to support his ideas and conclusions, all of which are more touchy feely and quite unconvincing. His theology lacks coherence. I am sorry to say that I cannot recommend this book.

Great Read

This book might be popular for Jesuits or disgruntled retirees, but it is basically a book fomenting dissent (also known as "creative fidelity").
